2020 truly came in with a bang! We are now approaching the 9th month and COVID-19 is still here when the world thought it would be gone by now, yet God is still in control. So what is God saying? What is God doing?
This is truly the time for the believer to rise up and be not dismayed. The land is ripe and ready to posses. As the children of Israel got ready to posses their promised place there were spies sent out to survey the possessions and people of the land, but they became fearful. They associated that point in time with negativity by believing it was too big or too much work, and too much bloodshed to posses it. The phrase “do not be afraid” is written in the bible 365 times. That’s a daily reminder from God to live everyday fearlessly. Not without wisdom and knowledge, but without fear. It’s very important to use wisdom in this time. In doing that you will be moving at the pace of God. When we acknowledge God there’s action behind the acknowledgement. We are observing and getting to know him in the process of living. You will find time and time again that God smooths out all paths. Using the power of wisdom is acknowledging God. Do not be dismayed by your own ways or your own thoughts.
God is fine tuning us during this time. What does that mean exactly? Fine tuning is the process of adjusting a thing precisely to bring it to the highest level of performance or effectiveness. The word precisely gives clarity that there are no mistakes or missing of the mark. It is marked by exactness and accuracy. It is particular. We can rest assure in that. The fact that God’s perfect will makes no mistakes. Be encouraged during this time of fine tuning. Denounce fear in every moment that it tries to rise up. Choose wisdom and knowledge. Choose to lead with God!
Affirmation: God I believe that this is my time to be fine tuned by you. I believe that you are taking me to a place that will prosper me. A place of love and true fulfillment. God I give my hopes, dreams, and desires to you. I will not be dismayed by my own thoughts and feelings. Every good and perfect thing comes from you. God I trust you.
